Application ledJanuary 24, 1924. Seriall No1. 688,329.I

This invention relates to ,a slidingreceptaclef, particularly, although notl exclusively,

adapted to receivev garbage and to. beat- -tached beneath the drain boardI of a kitchen sink.

Heretofore,.as iswellknown, it hasbeen customary to provide., foraminous garbage receptacleswhich are merely placedfin.V or hung over kitchenV sinks; refuse for which these receptacles are intendedconsists ofv small particles, which pass through the sieve-likeqbottoms of the-receptacles. and then into` the drainI pipe, this practice frequently results-in clogging the. drain withresulting inconvenience and eX- pensive'repairs. Y ceptacles in commonuse are unsightly, occupy `valuable. space, and cause damage toA the sink by wearing or surface thereof.

It is my object' to obviate'these undesirablel characteristics; byyprovid'ing means adapted to support a refuse receptacle on the bottom of a dra-in board where: it isconcealed' and j instant-V.

out of the way when not inn use, but ly available when required. .v

A further object-is-` tocprovide. a slida-ble holder feraV device. of th'siskind adapted to be quickly and easily secured to any of thev common typesof kitchen sinks.

Another object is to provide in a device of this kind a bracket which will securely engage the receptacle andV at the same time permit it to be easily detached to be dumped or cleansed. VThis invention also includes certain other novel features Vof construction Y which will be hereinafter more fully pointed out. Y

Referring to the accompanying drawings which illustrate the best form of my device at present known to me; Figure 1l is a side elevation of the receptacle and slide therefor mounted on a kitchen sinkof common type, a portion of the dra-in board flange r and wall bracket being removed to show parts otherwise concealed; Fig. 2 is an end view ofthe slide mounted onl the drain board with the receptacle proper removed; Figl 3 Visa detail, perspective view of one of the clips for off setting the slide from the drain board support; Fig. 4 is a plan view ofthe receptacle and slide detached from the sink, Fig. 5 is a central vertical section through the slidabl'e bracket and adjacent portion of 5 the receptacle; and Fig. 6 is a detail, perspective view of the guide bar.

As much of t-he.

Further, the garbage re-` 'defacifng the enamelf. f l facesof said flanges; Theforwardend` of 'the bracketY 18 extends obliqu'ely'downward In the drawings I haveused Y the numeral maaar 10 to indicatetheguide bar,`which is rigidly securedby a;` pair. of bolts ,11f tov lugs., 12,.'

formed on the drain board 13 of a. sink. 14.-

To .adapt the bar 10 to be mounted, on drain boards of differing sizes and having the lugs being formed'with .base flanges 16 project' ing laterally therefrom. ,Up-.turned'ends' 17 w n on-the flanges 16 constitute stopsffor sliding movement of afbracket 18l adapted to carry f I f 70 y The bracket 181slides onthevguidefflanges 16 andfis provided wit-lipa'irs of upwardly2 the receptacle 19.

Yperiphery thereof. Y

Y boards are formed withthe lugs 12 toY adaptgthem to be bolted to a wall Standard drip bracket 26 or similarly `placed leg, and lI have found that with some fixtures, because of the particular construction ofthe wall bracket or leg', it is necessary to off-set my guide bar 10 and` receptacle 19 from the lugs 12. I, there-fore, provide a pair of U shaped clips 27 which are adapted lto be secured at one endby the bolts 11 to the lugs 12 and at the other endby bolts 28'tothe bar 10.

- stud 24 projecting from the base o-f the clip 22 onithe'receptacleil); 85 y In use, the receptacle 19 is mounted on the v forward end ofthe bracket 18 bylinerely inserting thehook 21 inthe slotted clip 22 of lsaid receptacle and placing the lug 24 between the fingers 23. As willnowbe readily understood, the receptacle 19 may, by manipulating the handle be movedto either the retracted position shown in dotted lines in Figure 1 or extended to the full-line position shown iii said figure, the bracket 18 being slidably supported by the overhanging rivets 2O on the guide flanges 16. l/Iovement of the bracket and receptacle on the flanges 16 is limited by the stops 17. Vlien in the retractedfpositioii shown in dotted n lines in Figure 1, the receptacle 19 cannot be removed from the` bracket 18 because of the proximity of the guide bar 10 which prevents upward movement or the receptacle. Thus, it is impossible to'accidently knock the receptacle off its support. However, when the device is extended, the receptacle 19 may be quickly and easily removed from its supe porting bracket 18 .ifor any desired purpose, as for emptying refuse. 1

Vhile I have shown my invention `attached to the bottom of drain board of a sink, and prefer to so mount it because of tie convenience in attaching it tothe lugs 12 termed on said board, it willbe evident that the devicemight besecured to the bottom of the sink proper or to the bottom` of a table top, if so desired, and any suoli arrangement is considered within the scope Yoic my invention.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to'protectvby Letters Pat-ent is 1. In a support foragarbage receptacle,

a bar adapted to be rigidly mounted iii fix-ed, substantially horizontal position beneath the drain board of a sink or the like having a Vdownwardly projecting lug, a laterally projecting flange on said bar constituting a guide, an upwardly projecting member on said bar adapted to oifset said ange from' the drain board of a sink or the like having a downwardly projecting lug, a substantially horizontal, laterally projecting flange on said bar constituting 'aguide, an upwardly projecting member on said bar adapted to oiiset said Vflange from a supporting drain board, saidrbar having a longitudinal slot for a bolt and being adapted to be rigidlyl secured to said lug by a bolt passed through' j said slot, a slidable member extendingrlongitudinally beneath said flange and slidably supported thereon and means'carried on an end of said slidable member for movably supporting a receptacle directly beneath said guide whereby said receptacle may be carried to a position projecting from an edge oi said board or retracted to a position beneath said guide.

In testimony` whereof, I have hereunto signed my naine to this specification.
